Good Bye Bobbie Cat
May 13th, 2008
Some people come into our lives and leave foot prints on our hearts. Yesterday was a sad day here at our home because we had a cat that came into our lives and left foot prints on our hearts. Bobbie was a female cat my daughter rescued about seven years ago. She took very good care of her and extended her life by several years. We think she was about 14 years old.
Recently Bobbie became ill and could not be cured so we had to take her to be put to sleep. (I call it sent to heaven). We all cried. My daughter dug Bobbie’s grave and tenderly buried her with the quilt she had made just for Bobbie a few years ago.
The weather was overcast and grey. This was appropriate as she had been a Seattle native for many years. We will miss her when we walk into a room and don’t hear her purr. We always knew where she was as her purr was spontaneous. We will remember her reaching out her paw for more petting when we walked away.
I wonder if the pain is worth it when we lose a cat but they have so enriched our lives.
Good bye Bobbie, we will miss you, thanks for the years you blessed our lives.

So sorry for your loss, I had a wonderful cat called Bon Bon, for over 15 years, and he was my everything, he stuck with me through thick and thin, and I miss him horribly! But, am forever grateful the time I did have with him, and all the things he taught me.. I guess when you are ready, you too can celebrate Bobbie and what he brought to you and your family.
My thoughts are with you,
xx Chelle

Marilyn - I am so sorry to hear about your cat. It’s never easy to say good bye to a family member. As my son says… they are up in kitty heaven now…

Chelle and Megan, Thank you for your sweet comments. It means a lot to me. You must know how hard this is to say good-bye to a pet. (I’m sitting here with tears in my eyes just thinking about it).
